New Materials: Current Development Under Simulation Techniques
Journal Title: Modern Approaches on Material Science - Year 2018, Vol 1, Issue 1
Abstract
In the present short communication, a point of view on the contemporary tendencies in the development of the Science of Materials is offered. And for this, the main lines of research (personal criteria) in this area are considered, linked to problems of great importance for humanity: the care and preservation of the environment, renewable sources of energy and the health of people. In order to appreciate, in all its magnitude, the development of new materials (the totally new, the derivated, the transformed and combined ones), we need to observe through a prism of several faces, but all its converging on the plane of the climate change urgencies and the survival of the human being as a species on the planet Earth. Thus, the development of new atomic and molecular structures, the transformation of others already known, is a phenomenon closely linked to contemporary and high priority problems, such as the depletion of non-renewable sources of energy, the care and protection of the environment, and the health of people. It is possible to sustain that the emergence of modern approaches to new materials had its initial rebound in two periods of great activity: from 1821 to 1851, three decades in which it was understood at the macroscopic level and discovered the possibilities of thermoelectric; and from 1930, when it was possible to understand, from the microscopic level, thermoelectricity.
